First Overall Pick is Seeming More And More Like Reality

While the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft is getting cloer to reality for the Buffalo Bills, what seems to be dimming is the need for a Signal Caller.

Coming off an impressive 4 TD game with 374 yards passing while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes Ryan Fitzpatrick is making a solid case as to why the Bills should look at drafting another position with their high draft pick.

Currently Fitz has the second highest QB rating in the NFL, second to only Peyton Manning. The Bills QB also has 11 TD's in just 4 games as the starter, that's just one shy of a 3 per game average.

I am not saying that the decision should be made today. What I am saying is that if Fitz continues to get better each week, which is what he has done since the release of Trent Edwards, and he finishes the season as strong as he is playing right now, then it would be foolish for the Bills to use the number 1 pick overall on a QB. Remember how mad the fanbase was when the Bills drafted Spiller last year? We already had a running back they said. Well, if Fitzpatrick keeps playing the way he is now, we will already have a QB, and much more glaring needs like Defensive End, or Left Tackle.

I don't understand how anybody would be unhappy with this. We will have found our QB, the smartest QB in the league who is very physical and athletic who continues to get better each week. So, then, why draft a guy who may or may not work out? Any Bills fan SHOULD be happy if Fitz continues to play well and get better. It will fill one need (QB) and allow the Bills to draft at another position of need.
